Chapter 58 I Have Everything You Want
Ji Yunshu was still looking at the sky in the distance. She didn't turn around to look at Zhao Shen, nor did she notice anything unusual about him.
Hearing his words, she laughed happily: "I think so too. I even asked the emperor for a plaque for the clinic. With this, I guess no one would dare to cause trouble for me."
Zhao Shen also laughed and said, "Even without the emperor's plaque, few people in this capital would dare to cause trouble for you."
Ji Yunshu didn't comment on what he said. He didn't say it openly, but it was hard to say behind his back.
After all, there are people who even hire assassins to kill her, so what's the big deal about causing a little trouble?
"So do you have any staff? Besides doctors, we also need shopkeepers who understand business. The people I have are really not enough."
The clinic is not a profitable project, and according to her idea, a lot of money must be invested in it in a short period of time before it can be put on the right track.
She has some other ideas that also require a lot of money.
So she now urgently needs to do some profitable business to keep things running.
Zhao Shen also thought of what she asked Yichen to study, which was obviously not just for self-protection.
He smiled and said, "Yes, I have everything you want."
Ji Yunshu felt a little strange after hearing this and turned to look at him, but Zhao Shen's face was no different from usual, and he didn't seem to feel that what he said was so suggestive.
He added, "If you need anything, just come to me."
Ji Yunshu thought of the emperor behind him and couldn't help asking, "What if I want someone to go out to sea?"
She had looked up books here. Although the novel was fictional, it was not too different from the real world, and there were many countries overseas.
However, the current navigation technology is not very developed, and there are many pirates along the coast.
So going out to sea is a very dangerous thing.
But danger also means extremely tempting benefits.
Zhao Shen didn't expect her to be so bold: "You want to do maritime trade?"
He naturally knew that maritime trade could make money, but although the imperial court did not explicitly prohibit going out to sea, it did not support it either.
The sea was even often closed due to attacks by coastal pirates.
Ji Yunshu said, "It's just a thought at the moment. After all, the conditions are not yet in place."
Seeing that she seemed to have really thought about this question seriously, Zhao Shen couldn't help but ask: "What conditions are required?"
Ji Yunshu had nothing to hide from him now. When he asked, he told him his plan: "First, we need to build a strong enough seagoing ship, which won't be done overnight. There's also the compass. The current Sinan isn't practical enough and needs a lot of improvement. Then there's the manpower. We need to train a group of navy. There are too many pirates along the coast. We can't let them intercept us the moment we set out to sea."
The imperial court has no control over what happens at sea. Once you go out, you can only blame yourself for any bad luck that happens.
So the one with the bigger fist is the real winner.
Zhao Shen heard that she had considered everything carefully, so he asked, "So you're still short of people?"
Ji Yunshu realized that his title of "Tanhua" was indeed not for nothing. His comprehension ability was absolutely perfect. He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we need someone who can build ships, improve the Si Nan, and deal with pirates..."
The more she spoke, the more guilty she felt, as if she had spread herself too thin.
Not to mention anything else, it is extremely difficult to find these talents, not to mention supporting such a group of people, which is also a huge expense.
And maintaining a navy is probably a matter of life and death.
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Why don't you say anything?"
Ji Yunshu looked up at the sky and said, "I'd better do something else."
Zhao Shen said, "You said it yourself, it's just something you're thinking about right now. These things can't be rushed. It'll take years just to prepare, so it won't affect your other work. I'll find the person you want, and as for the rest, we can take our time."
Ji Yunshu was very happy, but still a little confused: "You support me?"
Zhao Shen said, "What you want to do is beneficial to the country and the people. Why shouldn't I support you?"
"But don't you think I'm delusional?"
Those things sound simple, but in fact, they are not that easy to do.
In fact, things like gunpowder and the compass didn't even have precedents.
Zhao Shen has to invest a lot of money, time and energy to support her, but he may not really get any return.
Zhao Shen laughed and said, "In this world, fantastic ideas always come first before fantastic things happen. If we don't even dare to think about it, and don't even dare to try, then won't we just stay where we are?"
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "You are really amazing."
In any case, with Zhao Shen's support, many of Ji Yunshu's ideas can be put into practice.
Zhao Shen asked Ji Yunshu to write down his plan. After reading it, he modified and deleted the unrealistic parts.
Then he planned to present the things to Emperor Jingming.
Ji Yunshu didn't want to stand out, and she grew up in the palace, so the emperor knew her own abilities very well. If she said that these things were her own thoughts, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
So let Zhao Shen say that it was his own idea.
Zhao Shen was well aware of the importance of those things and didn't want to take credit for her work.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "We are husband and wife. What's yours is mine. Even if I say that I came up with those things, will the emperor appoint me as an official?"
According to the emperor's nature, he would only give symbolic rewards of some cloth, jewelry, gold and silver.
Who knows, he might even suspect her because of this.
It would be better to save some trouble at the beginning.
Zhao Shen could naturally think of these things, and finally said: "You are right, what's mine is yours."
For these things, the two of them stuck together all day long to discuss and plan, and their relationship was much better than before.
Time passed quickly, and the day of Zhao Heng's engagement party arrived.
Early in the morning, everyone in the Changxing Marquis's Mansion became busy.
Lu Ru specially dressed Ji Yunshu up, especially giving her a pair of red coral earrings. She said with satisfaction, "As expected, red coral goes perfectly with this crimson brocade. Madam will definitely steal the show today."
Ji Yunshu looked at herself in the mirror and found that the red dress made her look even more radiant than usual, and she had the potential to cause trouble.
She said with a smile: "I'm not the protagonist today, why should I be the most dazzling one?"
Lu Ru said: "Of course, let everyone know that the lady is no worse than the princess. The second young master was blind not to marry you."
Ji Yunshu looked at her angry expression and knew that she was still holding a grudge against what Zhao Heng had done on their wedding night.
"What's past is past. I should also thank him for not marrying me. If not, how could I marry the prince?"
She has known for several days that after Zhao Heng was locked up, Yao personally took action. She didn't know what she said to Yao Ruolan, but in any case, Yao Ruolan compromised.
She will follow Wei Yuanmin to the Marquis' Mansion as a dowry maid.
Zhao Heng knew that Yao Ruolan was unwilling, but he still cooperated with Yao to force her.
How can he be considered a good man if he schemes against the woman he loves like this?
If this is the case with Yao Ruolan, what about others?
Whenever he thought of this, Ji Yunshu felt that this person was disgusting.
She was extremely glad that the first thing she did after opening her eyes was to kick this scumbag away.
Zhao Shen came in after finishing his work and heard her words. He turned his wheelchair behind her and looked at the person in the mirror who was more beautiful than a flower. He said, "You're right. I should thank my second brother."
Ji Yunshu saw that he was also wearing a bright and eye-catching crimson brocade coat, with a face as beautiful as jade and a beautiful appearance, as if just one look at him could make people lose their souls.
If he appeared, he would definitely kill Zhao Heng in seconds without leaving any trace.
Ji Yunshu's eyes swept over him and he couldn't help but laugh, "Is this how you thank him?"
